2019 HOKA ONE ONE Spring Track & Field Training Week 17, Day 3: Wednesdays are for thinking

Wednesdays are for thinking. While I would be doing a medicine ball workout, plus pull ups, push ups and sit ups, I would let my mind wander. The 45 minute run after core was a time for considering the week past. I would try to see what the lessons were from the past week.

What lessons did you learn in the last week?
